Chapter 472: – Xia Tian’s Phone Call
Over the next few days, Lin Jin was busy with teaching her cousin how to dance.
Although she was indeed pretty busy, dancing was considered quite natural to her so teaching it didn’t feel tiring or anything. But cousin Wu Jia was different. This guy had never learned dance his whole life and had never worked on his flexibility. He was the kind that couldn’t even touch his own toes when his legs were straight.
So for Wu Jia, not only did he have to learn all those dance moves and make them look lively and graceful, the important part was that he also had to stretch his legs…
Moves that Lin Jin considered super easy, her cousin could actually barely do any of them.
So, the dance class that was supposed to end after two days suddenly got dragged on for another two days. Even then, her cousin could only just barely manage the movements.
That was to say, Cousin Wu Jia had been really f*cking miserable these past couple of days. So miserable he didn’t even feel like playing basketball anymore. As soon as their rooftop dance lesson ended, the entire person would collapse in Lin Chen’s room. No matter what they said, he would refuse to come out, claiming that his legs weren’t his own anymore.
Well, an old man stretching ligaments was indeed a bit rough, but this kind of exercise was great for both physical and mental health, okay!
After their evening dance lesson ended, Lin Jin put away her phone, stuffed her hands in her pants pockets, and watched as her cousin Wu Jia complained nonstop: "If I'd known, I wouldn't have agreed no matter what! Aren’t you too f*cking cruel?"
"It’s not like I forced you, it's not my fault." Lin Jin hummed. After all, the one suffering was her cousin and not herself. Besides, seeing that her cousin was in so much pain, she also felt pretty happy!
So for these past two days, Lin Jin had been ignoring her cousin's complaints. Anyway, no matter how much he complained, as a man, would he really go back on his words?
Well, if he really did go back on his word, then she will just consider herself unlucky…
"It's all because your body’s too out of shape. The dances I picked were all already very simple ones, okay? I even thought you’d be able to master them in two days, but it turns out you’re this bad." Lin Jin walked on the stairs home and roasted her cousin behind her "When I started learning dance, I just easily corrected my posture a bit and then practiced some basics. I didn't even need to stretch my legs. How come you're so bad?"
To be honest, as a handsome guy who was also physically healthy and could be considered buff, Wu Jia already hadn’t been roasted like this in a long time… aside from in games.
After roasting, Lin Jin didn’t continue talking. She returned to her own room, yawned, and flopped onto her bed. She lazily stretched and covered herself with the quilt.
These past couple of days have been really comfortable.
Especially after having someone to bully.
After some more time, Lin Chen would be back from buying food. Lin Jin planned to wait for their dinner to be brought back and finished eating, then play a couple good rounds of Dota. She hadn't played this game in so long she had somewhat forgotten how to play.
Then her phone rang.
Glancing at the number displayed on the phone and seeing it was a string of numbers she recognized, she answered the call.
"Hey, Xia Tian, what do you need?"
Even though there was no caller ID, Lin Jin still easily recognized his phone number. It wasn’t because she specially memorized it on purpose, but it was just because the phone number was just too easy to remember.
"Oh, haven't seen you in a while. Just checking in to see how you’re doing." Xia Tian’s side was very quiet. Lin Jin could even hear his slightly heavy breathing.
"I'm over here in Guangdong. Didn't I tell you before when I left?" Lin Jin blankly thought for a moment, then, somewhat embarrassedly explained "Oh, back then I said I was going back to my hometown for a couple days... My mom suddenly decided to bring me over here to Guangdong, I forgot to let you know."
"Then when are you coming back?" There was the sound of a chair moving on Xia Tian's end, as if he was leaning his body against his desk. He said in a somewhat lazy voice, "A lot of people in my livestream are shouting for you to show up, so I called you to ask."
"Oh." Lin Jin nodded. Given her popularity, it really would cause that situation.
Even though when Lin Jin was still in school, she would only go to Xia Tian's place to stream together once every few days, maybe because the effects were quite good whenever they streamed together, the viewer count would almost always break ten thousand.
With the gift donations and the base streaming salary, Xia Tian was now earning about five thousand yuan a month.
"I'll probably..." Lin Jin originally wanted to say she would be back when school started, but she suddenly paused for a bit and instead used a teasing tone to ask Xia Tian: "Hey, it can’t be that you miss me, right?"
"No, I already said it's the viewers who miss you." This Xia Tian guy’s tone was still as steady as ever, a lot less varied than when he hung out with Lin Jin.
These days, Xia Tian was actually a bit more lively than before. Well, even though he was still facially paralyzed, Lin Jin often heard more changes in his tone, like when getting beat up in games or something. Back when they first met, not only did Xia Tian have facial paralysis, but his tone never changed either.
So that was to say, could it be that Xia Tian was trying to hide something right now?
Lin Jin chuckled as she said: "Then I'll wait until school starts before going back. Anyway, I'm pretty comfortable here in Guangdong. Everyday I can sleep and eat and even have someone deliver it to me. Also, I even have a cousin here I can bully, life’s really good!"
Then the other end of the call went silent.
Lin Jin didn't mind either. Rolling over to lie on her stomach, she propped herself up on her elbows and tilted her head as she waited for Xia Tian to speak first.
After waiting some tens of seconds later, Xia Tian’s side finally made a sound.
"Uh, then what if I... I missed you?"
What a rare occasion, Lin Jin felt as if she could hear Xia Tian’s blushing look.
"If it's you?" Lin Jin didn't think too much either. Tilting her head and subconsciously swinging her legs, she casually teased "If it's you, I'll also just come back when school starts!"
"Oh."
"Oh, come on. Why so cold?" Lin Jin laughed, trying to comfort the seemingly downcast Xia Tian. "I’m just kidding, I should be back in about three weeks."
"Another three weeks?"
"Yeah, I told my mom I'd stay here for a month before heading back. If I'm unlucky, I might be here until school starts." Lin Jin felt a bit guilty as she said "If the number of viewers watching your stream decreases, you won’t blame me, right?"
"It's fine."
Lin Jin suddenly felt that Xia Tian seemed a lot colder all of a sudden. He was clearly still joking around with her a few sentences ago.
"Oh right, help me promote my dance video while you’re at it. If it gets a lot of views, I can even make some money. If I get enough bananas on A Site, I’ll exchange it for a PS4 for us to play with."
"Sure."
Sigh, still acting so cold.
Lin Jin frowned, completely not understanding why Xia Tian’s tone had become so cold all of a sudden.
"How about, I go back in two days?" She tentatively asked.
"Okay!" Xia Tian's volume instantly shot up by three levels. Startling Lin Jin who was on her bed so much that she lost her balance and face planted into her pillow.
What the f*ck?
